The last time he made a 147 at the Crucbile he reached the quarter finals and nearly beat Murphy there.

Was amazing, on the first day aswell makes it even more special, and to think Doherty was also on one a little bit earlier.
Class pure class from Hendry

This is why is so frustrating hearing people discuss Hendry's future in the game, and suggesting he's 'past it'.
How many players in the world at the moment are capable of scoring that heavily, and also getting a max.

Well done Hendry.
It was the second 147 I've seen live. Third if you count the one at Snooker Legends.

HUGE pockets, I feel Hendo was a bit embarrassed with some of the shots that dropped

The next highest break 136, nobody able to put together a break close to the 147 with these "bucket" pockets.
Pretty sure Hendry's isn't even remotely embarrassed about any aspect of the max.
I notice your high break is 147, are you embarassed by any of the pots you made or proud of your max?

Sickpotter, are you stalking Smart? You have been following him around the forum like some sort of animal on heat.

No, just trying to keep the posters aware that being disrespectful of players is not acceptable on SI.
I can always just delete the comments but I'd rather see the site develop it's generally intelligent fan debate/posting and not encourage the disrespecting of some of the all time greats of the game.
Pointing out the behavior publicly is more likely to help people realize how sad their behavior is.
You may enjoy comments slagging the greats or attempting to devalue their accomplishments, most real fans find it pathetic/WUM/Seiferesque and that's detrimental to SI.

With respect if you watched a bit more snooker you would understand why "buckets" is a term used a lot. Some shots I have seen drop have no right to, whatsoever. I hope the fitters were bought a decent drink by Hendo on Saturday night.

I'm not saying the pockets aren't generous, if you wanted to open a thread on the topic the comment has merit.
Placed on a thread about Hendry's max it is an attempt to devalue the accomplishment.
If you don't like the player, at least respect the maximum. If a crucible max is put up by any player, no matter how dispised he may be, he deserves respect for his accomplishment.
For the record I have been watching a fair bit of the snooker and I agree buckets is appropriate the way some balls have dropped. I'm not going to fault the players for that though
Should be interesting to see the final ton total

Even though the pockets may be a bit generous this year, they're aren't as generous as they were back in 2009 when the record of 83 centuries is set..
Don't think they will overcome that number by the end of this year's Worlds.....
